Rants & Raves
Rants and Raves out of an idiot's mouth on this Wednesday morning:
I enjoyed everything about the NCAA basketball championship game on Monday night.
I loved seeing the disappointed tears flow from William Avery and the entire Krzyzewski family.
The best part was the last two minutes when the Alaskan assassin Trajan Langdon looked about as comfortable on the basketball court as Jewel does in a dentist's chair.
I have been sick of Duke basketball for a number of years. The program held my interest for about as long as Pepsi's License to Chill card.
I think we will all be able to sleep a little better since the Blue Devils lost.
On the flip side I must congratulate the University of Connecticut. When everyone said "you can't" the Huskies and their fans just said "UCONN" (not even Jim Nantz could come up with a line like that).
The Huskies have a class program and it was good to see Jim Calhoun win a championship.
The game on Monday night proved that Michigan State is not in the league of teams like Duke or Connecticut.
Duke did not play well on Saturday night, but was still able to beat the Spartans.
However, the Spartans work ethic and overachievement is a credit to the players and the coaching staff.
Call me Richard Simmons but I enjoy the video montage after the championship game. It makes me want to go out and play a pick-up game.
Is it just me, or is Conan O'Brien the most hilarious comedian in late night television land?
Letterman and Leno are just not funny or original.
Do not even get me started about Tom Synder. I am glad they took him off the air because he is the most hideous man I have ever seen.
The NBA Players' Association has filed a complaint on behalf of Sacramento King center Oliver Miller against the Suns due to a skit that the team's mascot performed.
Apparently the Gorilla came out at twice his size and had a Miller jersey on. After several exercises, he fell to the floor and had to be rolled off.
Apparently this skit placed Miller into a state of depression and it was especially mortifying because his children were in the crowd.
Miller, you are a professional athlete and you should be able to deal with a joke. It is not like you are the first person the mascot has poked fun at.
I know television adds 10 pounds, but it looks like you had Rosie O'Donnell for breakfast, Oprah Winfrey for lunch, and then forgot about the sensible dinner part.
Apparently Michael Jordan wants to buy the majority of the Charlotte Hornets. Can't we get through at least one basketball season without Jordan feeling the need to get his name in the papers and back into our everyday culture
This season was going well without Jordan. The divisional races are exciting and new players are grabbing the media's attention.
Then our favorite media creation feels the need to become the center of attention once again. Why can't Jordan go crawl into a cave and take fellow media children Jesse Jackson and Jerry Falwell with him.
